So you think having different buttons for the similar functions in
different panels is less confusing? I'm not sure. But we have not
worked out the UI anyway. And for 1.4, having the break on next
disabled makes sense.

Well someone could decide to work on that, but it would not be me. And
historically tools that continually improved, even when users
complained about the improvements, have I guess been more successful.
The amount of UI change in 1.5 and 1.6 will be much less than in
1.4.

Yes, but I guess you want new toys too. So even if you don't like
every change, you might still accept them to get others.
